Also, it integrates with Outlook what make things easy. > > **Cons**: When you make the migration, not all the data is migrated correctly, and for a lot of things you need to be doing in the database view and others are only possible on the webview. > > It is a great system to manage not only donations but also communications with donors. A great way to view the information you have and make it easy to plan for campaigns. Also task management tool is easy to use and integrated with the main forms of communication. ----- ### "If you love complex platforms, this one is for you." — 3.0/5 > **Michelle** | *February 11, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT is a massive platform that offers a lot of functionality for charities and non profits > > **Cons**: This program is unnecessarily complex. As someone who considers themselves to be fairly technologically proficient, I found the back end of this program very complicated. Not intuitive at all - which is unfortunate, when so many programs these days are taking advantage of AI learning. This program is literally so complex, you have to take tests in order to take training for certain aspects of the program. And the costs are exorbitant - especially when you consider this platform is for non-profits/charities. > > I quite disliked this program. While it did offer a lot of functionality, I ultimately suggested we go with a different charity CRM platform, that more people in our organization would be able to use ----- ### "RE NXT is the most powerful tool in your fundraising tool bag." — 5.0/5 > **Kaisa** | *June 16, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I appreciate RE NXT's ability to organize and process complex information. The resource this software has been for organization's i've been a part of is notable. From being able to capture details both big and small, to using it as a tool for specific campaign strategy--this software is a heavy hitter and a essential part of the modern fundraising shop. > > **Cons**: Because it's so complex, it can feel daunting to use without equally complex training. Perhaps some attention to this could make the initial user experience, especially, a little more rewarding. > > Overall, I have experienced notable success using this tool. The details in our line of work simply cannot (and should not\!) exist in a single fundraiser's brain--they ought to be documented, measured, and exist as a delicate yet dynamic record. Raiser's Edge NXT is the perfect balance between delicate and dynamic. ----- ### "BBRENXT to the rescue" — 4.0/5 > **Jayne** | *March 29, 2025* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: As they continue to evolve access and manipulation of data will be a great experience. > > **Cons**: It’s only about 60% currently with the features from RE. > > Very good can’t wait to see what it’ll be like with more features. ----- ### "WITH RE-NXT, BLACKBAUD MAY HAVE GOTTEN ON THE CLOUD TOO FAST" — 3.0/5 > **Cain** | *August 21, 2019* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's good Blackbaud realized that it needed to build in the classic version ("database view") of the old Raisers Edge into its NXT cloud version of the product. The old RE remains one of the best donor-, events-, membership-management software packages around. I've been using since 1997, and Raisers Edge integrates perfectly with Financial Edge. > > **Cons**: As I mentioned, the cloud version of the software ("web view," or what you land on as soon as you click into Blackbaud.com and sign on) is weak. Adding to the frustration is that it looks completely different from the old version of the software. The worst thing about the cloud version is that a lot of the functionality in the old version has yet to show up in the web version, although Blackbaud keeps promising that future updates will contain familiar functions. In the middle of all this frustration is that Blackbaud's customer service, once the gold standard for what any customer service should be when paying this much for a product, has changed dramatically to customer service sometimes helping directly as they always did in the past, to customer service sending you Knowledgebase links for you, the customer, to figure out things yourself. > > With the NXT version of its products, along with Blackbaud pretty much forcing its customers onto the cloud, Blackbaud is making some big mistakes. They haven't thought the web products out too much before pushing them out, for one (lots of functionality that previously existed doesn't exist now, although promised), and their customer service is no longer something to rave about. Anyone interested in RE-NXT but who hasn't used the older version of the product at all is going to be more impressed by (for example) Avectra's NetForum, which is cheaper and isn't waiting for significant functionality to be rolled out. ----- Page: 1 / 18\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/198986/blackbaud-raiser-s-edge-nxt?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/198986/blackbaud-raiser-s-edge-nxt) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
